In the book, I had to prune them down for space considerations, and I also broke some of them into separate bits to illustrate different topics. Here, most of the transcripts are presented whole and uncut. (The Oscar Pistorius cross lasted five days so I could only excerpt part of one day.) Readers will see how good lawyers piece together their cross-examinations into a single unit, and also how even the best cross-examinations sometimes wander into unhelpful dead ends. Always, though, you will see how excellent cross-examiners recover from blows inflicted by the witness or opposing counsel (or judge sometimes) and go on to win the confrontation.
